Congrats on you new life, wish you all the suscess!

Thank you so much I needed that.

:sad:I was banded 06-11-08 and only lost 15lbs I am so ashamed that I have not been online in a couple of months I must admit I do not excerise or eat the right foods I did not have any restriction until 10-14-08 when I had my 3rd fill I have a 10cc band and I am about 7 1/2 cc full now and boy I know restriction now I can't eat what I want now I have to eat smart beacause not much is going to get in I have also been dealing with depression which I working hard on I have not been working since my surgery so I will be back to work and back in a routine next week where I will be a lot more active I hope this will help me but I just feel like a loser because I am not losing I just need some words that will work so I can move my ass and not feel so alone in this journey and get back on wagon .:Dancing_biggrin:

Hang in there, I was banded on June 11 2008 and I have lost only 13lbs but I don't eat right or excerise I need to close my mouth and move my ass and I am sure I wil be singing a new tune have you even had your 1st fill yet? I was filled 1x so far and I feel a little restriction with some foods and boy does it hurt I will learn soon enough.

Congrats on you due date for surgery, I hope everything is ok with your heart in the future. I am banded since June 11 2008 and waiting to get my 1st fill i have lost 20lbs so far good luck with your journey!

:lol: I was supposed to be banded today while in the pre opt room IV in arm all ready to be banded the heart monitor shows these weird heart beats so the dr cancelled surgery and sent me to the cardio Dr I was so lucky to get in today and they did an ultra sound and a stress test on a trad mill and sent me home with a monitor for 24hrs I hope everything goes ok so I can get back on the schedule again I am so sad right now I was also told I had a heart murmur I am not sure what happens next but I had to just get it out. Has anyone been thur this

I was banded on June 11th and I am not sure when I wll get my 1st fill I have a follow up appointment on July 1st do you think I will get a fill then? I am very exitced about getting on the road to a restriction because I don't have any right now

congrats I wish you luck on you journey

I am now banded as of June 11th 2008 everthing is ok

:scared2:I must confess I have cheated on my post op diet I was banded on June 11th did good up until Friday June 20 and I had cream of wheat for breakfast real soupy and then blended stuffing and chicken to a mushie state Saturday about 2x and this morning. I have read alot of postopt cheater threads but now I am scared I have streched or damage my band or caused a slippage. I fill real full now and I am real scared for myself I just had to let my feelings out or guilt will eat me alive does anybody know what my punishment will be? I promise to get back on my preopt diet ASAP and stay on it. Thank you all for reading my confession.

I am about 12 day post opt and I still have my strei strip on mine? Did yours come off?

I am 12 days post op and I did the same thing I feel like a failure I ate some stuffing with chicken blended to a mushie type stage and I did ok with it but I am suppose to be on full liqids for 3weeks I am just tired of those protein drinks and fruit smoothies I want food. I will get back in the boat and try to stay in but is hard I wish u all the success with these stages that we are going thru.
